Eleven people are behind bars after, Miami Police say, the group of individuals committed violent crimes and carried out an elaborate scheme to steal money.

The operation was initially to combat violent gang crime, but authorities discovered what they described as a bank fraud call center while executing a search warrant at a rental home near Southwest 162nd Street and 100th Court in Southwest Miami-Dade.

Investigators say while observing the home over several days in late October, authorities “observed numerous associates of a violent gang known as ABK arrive… in high end vehicles ranging over $100,000.”

With the help of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, Miami Police executed a search warrant at the home on Wednesday.
